Want St. Patrick's Day corned beef and cabbage — here's where to get it on the SouthCoast
St. Patrick’s Day means it's time to eat corned beef and cabbage. The traditional meal that is made with corned beef, cabbage, potatoes, and carrots, isn’t even a traditional Irish recipe. It was created in America by Irish immigrants due to necessity — beef brisket was an inexpensive cut of meat and cabbage was cheap.
Ever wonder why it’s called corned? Well, "corned" has nothing to do with actual corn but instead refers to the corn-sized salt crystals used during the brining process. This is what creates the salty flavor that gives the corned beef its distinctive taste.
